According to the federal Office of Minority Health, African Americans "are affected by serious diseases and health conditions at far greater rates than other Americans". In fact, African Americans suffer an estimated 85,000 excess deaths every year from diseases we know how to prevent: heart disease, stroke, cancer, high blood pressure, and diabetes. In this important and accessible book, Dr. Michelle Gourdine provides African Americans with the knowledge and guidance they need to take charge of their wellbeing.

Technological innovation is deeply woven into the fabric of American culture, and is no less a basic feature of American health care. Medical technology saves lives and relieves suffering, and is enormously popular with the public, profitable for doctors, and a source of great wealth for industry. Yet its costs are rising at a dangerously unsustainable rate. The control of technology costs poses a terrible ethical and policy dilemma. How can we deny people what they may need to live and flourish?

The media constantly bombard us with news of health hazards lurking in our everyday lives. But many of these hazards turn out to have been greatly overblown. According to author and epidemiologist Geoffrey C. Kabat, this hyping of low-level environmental hazards leads to needless anxiety and confusion on the part of the public as to which exposures have important effects on health and which are likely to have minimal or no effect.

Ett långt och lyckligt liv är vad så gott som alla önskar sig. Vi gör vad vi kan för att leva så länge som möjligt. Säkerligen borde det väl evolutionärt sett vara bättre om vi levde längre än vad vi gör, så att vi kan få större spridning på våra gener? Trots detta har evolutionen byggt in ett bäst-före datum hos människan. Därmed ställs vi inför den eviga frågorna: hur hanterar vi att livet har ett slut? I denna bok undersöker författaren Johan Frostegård hur livet kan förlängas utifrån de senaste upptäckterna inom vetenskapen.

In der Medizin sagt man, die Therapie darf nicht schädlicher sein als die Krankheit. Überträgt man dies auf die weltweiten Maßnahmen zur Eindämmung des Coronavirus, müsste man wohl von einem der größten Kunstfehler der Geschichte sprechen. Die indirekten Kollateralschäden der Therapie stehen in keinem Verhältnis zu den Schäden durch das Virus selbst. Der Journalist und Bestsellerautor Jens Berger zeigt anhand zahlreicher nationaler und internationaler Beispiele, welche Schäden die Corona-Politik verursacht hat und immer noch verursacht.

Unser Gesundheitssystem steht unter hohem Veränderungsdruck: Wir leben aufgrund bahnbrechender medizinischer Fortschritte immer länger, jedoch führt unser zunehmend ungesunder Lebensstil dazu, dass wir immer häufiger an chronischen Krankheiten leiden. Dies treibt die Kosten im Gesundheitswesen in die Höhe und bringt unser erfolgreiches System ins Wanken. Die Digitalisierung im Gesundheitswesen zu forcieren, ist ein möglicher Weg, den Kostensteigerungen zu begegnen und gleichzeitig Kranke besser zu versorgen.

Appell für eine wirklich patientenorientierte Medizin! Krankenhäuser und Praxen haben sich in den letzten Jahren mehr und mehr zu Wirtschaftsunternehmen entwickelt - zum Nachteil der Patienten und des Personals. Das System ist strikt auf Gewinn ausgerichtet, gleichzeitig ist eine enorme Verschwendung an menschlichen und materiellen Ressourcen zu beobachten. Überversorgung und Mangel sind die beiden Seiten einer Medaille. Die Corona-Pandemie hat es wie unter einem Brennglas gezeigt: Einerseits sind wir enorm leistungsfähig, andererseits schlecht organisiert und unterfinanziert.

Von Anfang an verfolgten die Investigativjournalisten Katja Gloger und Georg Mascolo, wie ein Virus namens Sars-CoV-2 das Leben, wie wir es kannten, auf dramatische Weise veränderte. Sie erlangten exklusiven Zugang hinter die Kulissen der Politik, die trotz früher Warnungen so gut wie unvorbereitet getroffen wurde. Ihr Hörbuch deckt bisher unbeschriebene Zusammenhänge auf, anhand von Augenzeugenberichten und vertraulichen Dokumenten schildert es die Entscheidungen, Unsicherheiten und Zweifel.

Challenging Operations takes up the apparent paradox of medical professionals resisting reforms designed to help them and their patients. Through vivid anecdotes, interviews, and incisive observation and analysis, Katherine Kellogg reveals the complex ways that institutional reforms spark resistance when they challenge long-standing beliefs, roles, and systems of authority. Shedding new light on the difficulty of implementing reforms, Challenging Operations offers concrete recommendations for effectively meeting that challenge.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has killed hundreds of thousands of people and infected millions while also devastating the world economy. The consequences of the pandemic, however, go much further: they threaten the fabric of national and international politics around the world. What will be the consequences of the pandemic, and what will a post-COVID world order look like? No institution is better suited to address these issues than Johns Hopkins University, which has convened experts from within and outside of the university to discuss world order after COVID-19.

Americans spend more money on health than people anywhere else in the world. And what do they get for it? Statistically, not much. Americans today live shorter, less healthy lives than citizens of other rich countries. The problem, Sandro Galea argues, is that Americans focus on the wrong things. Well is a radical examination of the subtle and not-so-subtle factors that determine who gets to be healthy in America.

The sometimes fragmentary tales of these people, their lives and deaths, are not included in official histories of a place. How, Ensign asks, has a large, socially progressive city like Seattle responded to the health needs of people marginalized by poverty, mental illness, addiction, racial/ethnic/sexual identities, and homelessness? Drawing on interviews and extensive research, Ensign shares a diversity of voices within contemporary health care and public policy debates.
